Our
Alco RS-11, the NH 1402, had to be transported from Georgia to Danbury
by rail. Unfortunately a couple of the wheels were badly worn from
it's many years of use in a granite quarry. In order for the
railroad to tow this unit over the federal rail system, the wheels
needed to comply with federal standards. Fortunately the wheels on
our Alco FA1, the NH 0428, has similar trucks (wheels). Thus a
truck swap was in order!

The clean and
energetic work crew ready to get started at 9:00 A.M.

Plenty of progress being made
during the daylight hours.

At 10:00 P.M. the job is
complete (trucks removed) and the work crew has just about had it too.
